Your Lower Blepharoplasty Procedure: Step by Step

When you arrive at Dr. Chopra’s welcoming Miami facility, you'll be warmly greeted by our staff, who will then prepare you for surgery. This will involve cleansing the area around your eyes and setting up monitors to track your vital signs. For your comfort during the procedure, we typically use local anesthesia with sedation. This means you will be awake but will not feel any pain. Some patients may require general anesthesia, which will be discussed and decided during your pre-operative visits.

Once the anesthesia takes effect, Dr. Chopra will carefully make an incision along the natural crease of your lower eyelid or inside the lower lid, minimizing the presence of any post-procedural scarring. Dr. Chopra will then remove or reposition excess fat, sagging skin, and muscle according to the specifics of your treatment plan. In most cases, the procedure takes about one to two hours to complete, but this will vary according to your personalized treatment plan.

Once the necessary adjustments have been made, Dr. Chopra will carefully close the incision with sutures. You'll then be moved to a recovery area, where you'll be closely monitored as the sedation wears off. After a short period of observation, you'll be allowed to go home with a comprehensive set of post-care instructions to follow for optimal recovery and results.

After Your Lower Blepharoplasty Procedure

After your procedure, it’s normal to experience a bit of swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Cold compresses can help with this discomfort, and making sure to elevate your head while resting will help make sure the swelling goes down nicely. We’ll also make sure that you have everything you need to recover as comfortably as possible. We’ll also make sure to schedule a series of follow-up appointments with you, giving Dr. Chopra a chance to check your progress, remove stitches if necessary, and address any concerns you may have. Most patients find that they’re able to return to their normal activities within about two to three weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions Lower Eyelid Lift

What is the ideal age for lower blepharoplasty?

While there is no precise “ideal age” for a lower eyelid lift, most patients who choose this procedure are in their mid-30s to late 50s. At Chopra Plastic Surgery, we offer our patients a wide range of both surgical and non-surgical treatment options, meaning there are often multiple ways to help you reach your aesthetic goals. During your consultation, Dr. Chopra will help you explore the various treatment options available to you.

Can I get a lower eyelid lift if I wear contact lenses?

Yes, you can. You will need to transition, however, to wearing glasses for a while during your recovery period.

How long does a lower eyelid lift procedure usually take?

On average, the procedure takes about one to two hours to complete. However, this time may vary depending on the individual patient’s needs and the specific techniques employed during the surgery.

Can a lower eyelid lift be combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures?

Absolutely! In fact, it’s quite common to combine a lower eyelid lift with procedures like a brow lift, facelift, or skin resurfacing treatments for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Just ask Dr. Chopra about this during your consultation, and he’ll be happy to help you learn more about how he can create excitingly comprehensive results for you.

Can a lower eyelid lift correct dark circles under the eyes?

A lower eyelid lift can certainly help reduce the appearance of dark circles caused by shadows from bulging fat or skin folds. However, other treatments may be more effective for dark circles caused by hyperpigmentation or thin, transparent skin revealing underlying blood vessels.

How long do the results of a lower eyelid lift last?

The results of a lower eyelid lift are quite lasting and frequently last for up to 10 to 15 years. It’s important to note, however, that this surgery does not stop the natural aging process, so lifestyle factors and genetics will continue to influence the appearance of your skin.

Is there any non-surgical alternative to a lower eyelid lift?

There are indeed non-surgical alternatives that can help tighten skin and reduce puffiness under the eyes. These options include laser resurfacing, chemical peels, and dermal fillers. Worth noting, however, is that these treatments may not provide as dramatic or long-lasting results as a surgical lower eyelid lift.
